An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first wireless communication circuit that provides a first radio access technology (RAT) associated with a long term evolution (LTE), a second wireless communication circuit that provides a second RAT associated with a new radio (NR), a subscriber identification module, a communication processor, and a memory. The electronic device obtains access technology identifier (ATI) information associated with one public land mobile network (PLMN) from the subscriber identification module and performs frequency scanning by using the first wireless communication circuit, when the ATI information indicates a next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) associated with the first RAT.
